Tow the line
Heard you say that time again
Now the line's become a noose
Now it's time
And everyone is here again
Are you going to cut me loose?
Now the things we'll learn this time around
You always say it's not
It's never the way it seems
Sleepless sighs and these red eyes
Starring back at me
It's just another last chance again
Back here we are
Relive that worst night once again
Will we ever take it off
It's wearing thin
Thought time can bear an ugly end
Is this a new brand of fiction?
Now the things we'll learn this time around
You always say it's not
It's never the way it seems
Sleepless sighs and these red eyes
Starring back at me
It's just another last chance again
Give me a swing
Give me a thing to make some time
Because I've wasted it all
Give me a theme
I will live free without a care
And I'd take her anywhere
Now the things we'll learn this time around
You always say it's not
It's never the way it seems
Sleepless sighs and these red eyes
Starring back at me
It's just another last chance again

Do you see through me?
Because you won't listen
Now I feel we're throwing time away
What is it I've done
That's made you want to run?
Well, I know and that's the pain I feel inside
Dad said so long ago
That life is way to short
To spend it all wondering what might have been
I've got so much to say
But my heart is at the end of it's rope
Daylight so grim as it's growing old
But I'm going to risk it all to find my way
You ran me over
With your Cadillac of personality I can't believe
Something has you so down
To make you wanna run
Away for good it can't be all that bad
You sit it in your room
You waste it by yourself
The flicker of the box is all you see
I've got so much to say
But my heart is at the end of it's rope
Daylight so grim as it's growing old
But I'm going to risk it all to find my way

Set fire to the frequency of ending
Begin to write a better way
The careless tools of weightless dreams are empty
As if the timings ever right
Fluorescent waste away
Save it for another day
Discarded hideaway
Emotion is a snapshot that means nothing
But it could be everything
You ask me what's wrong with the world in these days
When will it come to an end
"Almost always never" means there is an opening
Can you show me how to be?
Fluorescent waste away
Save it for another day
Discarded hideaway

Cut the Tape

Sit alone in the rain
There's no word we need to say
Let our cares be washed away
Lose it all into the rain
We could float away and let the waters wash our troubles away
When you're lost in an iris there's so many things it will say
Just to pause in this piece of time would be a holiday
Let's get soak by the present tense forget the days
Poison pen's had it's last day
A brand new page and so much to say
Better dream I've cut the tape
This great cast no need for rain
I could float away and let the waters wash my troubles away
When I'm lost in your iris there's so many things it will say
Just to pause in this piece of time could be a holiday
Let's get soak by the present tense forget the days

After all the things I've seen
All the places I have been
It's still so hard to face
Time gets tough as we grow old
Driving down this rocky road
But not always alone
Now that house is getting cold
All the photos my mind holds
Now these kids will never grow old
Now it's time for us to go
Left no time for us to grow
When it all is said and done
We will have to learn to face
Now the friends that you let go
Never reading their bio
And the clocks hands never so slow
Now the scenes are never the same
Everyday a different play
Never feeling we're at home
When our lives are strange and weird
Always running in fifth gear
No time to shed a tear
Now it's time for us to go
Left no time for us to grow
When it all is said and done
We will have to learn to face
Now it's time for us to go
Left no time for us to grow
When it all is said and done
We will have to learn to face
We will have to learn to face
We will have to learn to face
When it all is said and done
We will have to learn to face

The Loneliest Place

This is the loneliest place
Stuck inside your head
It's been a real long year
Harbored in regrets
I will stick by you
Won't have to ask me to
Will you stick by me
Broken, sad and bruised
Lost across the sea
But within reach of you
A disconnection's hard to lose
It's even harder to try and use
I will stick by you
Won't have to ask me to
Will you stick by me
Broken, sad and bruised
Will you stick by me
Broken, sad and bruised
I will stick by you
Won't have to ask me to
Will you stick by me
Broken, sad and bruised

At the Wheel

I find I'm running
From a museum full of you
Can't be struggling
To be who I really want me to
Now that you're running
Erase that book of me and you
Your key says, "future"
This last page says, "me without you"
With a perfect photo of you
Sitting in your chair and no one had to guess how you feel
With no end in sight and every single moment needs no fuel
Elate, Let the flashbacks fall asleep behind the wheel
Elate, Pack up all the things I used to feel
Elate, Coat of fresh paint over my memory
Elate, Let my heart elate again
Let my heart elate again
I'm the one at the wheel
Driving away from how I feel
Your heartbreak's cunning
Larger than any sharpened tool
My dream says, "never"
But that's exactly how you set me free
With a faded photo of you
Sitting in a chair and never really knowing how you feel
Now the folds and time have opened up a feeling that is real
Now I'm at the wheel and trying to remember how to feel
Elate, Let the flashbacks fall asleep behind the wheel
Elate, Pack up all the things I used to feel
Elate, Coat of fresh paint over my memory
Elate, Let my heart elate again
Let my heart elate again

Date of Expiration

I just want to be bad tonight
I don't want to be moral for one night
Let's live out say goodbye
Lose our heads to the passion
Let the dream have legs and run tonight like a sequence on TV
Can we turn the clock to be the way it used to be?
I'm not strong enough
I'm not strong enough
I'm not strong enough
To wear this mask of insincerity
I'm not strong enough
I'm not strong enough
Are you strong enough?
To bear the weight of this insanity
I don't want to be me at all
An empty box marked emotion
As these lights fade away
Stamp the date of expiration
Tell me how long can you live a lie, before you start to need it
With all the cracks and all the holes no happiness could fill
I'm not strong enough
I'm not strong enough
I'm not strong enough
To wear this mask of insincerity
I'm not strong enough
I'm not strong enough
Are you strong enough?
To bear the weight of this insanity
I'm not strong enough
I'm not strong enough
I'm not strong enough
To wear this mask of insincerity
I'm not strong enough
I'm not strong enough
Are you strong enough?
To bear the weight of this insanity

It's my last time around here
It's never been more clear
Now the pictures won't go away
They're something I'll have to save
I don't know what to say
These things on the last day
I must have missed my parade
Life seems to go more then one way
Things change while they stay the same
Stay strong as I walk away
Now the pictures just dust away
Hold tight till we pass away
I don't know what to say
These things on the last day
I must have missed my parade
Life seems to go more then one way
Missed the parade

Avenue of Fears

Line up who you've been
And put them where they go
The ocean it is wide
And older than you know
So take me where it is
To an avenue of fears
Sparks to the slide
It's a second chance that's given
It's not mine
I'm alright
Time and again
I'll show you how
It's alright
I'll be fine
Time and again
I'll show you how
Blurry box of white
Now the picture's coming in
Though it hurts so much
It's the greatest pain there is
Each moment is a place
That you have never been
A story is better told than it's told
It's not mine
I'm alright
Time and again
I'll show you how
It's alright
I'll be fine
Time and again
I'll show you how

I don't hate you enough
Now this day has come
After all the things we said
And the feelings that you shed
Guess I saw it coming
But how could I prepare
Now I've all these memories
All laced with my despair
Sweetheart
What can I say?
Sweetheart
We have slept for our last time
You let me know everything that day
Sweetheart
I don't defend you enough
Now that they all judge you
But to wake up alone
Knowing these dreams won't be coming
No such thing as an easy break
Is what they all say to me
But that don't make it easier
For us to see it through
Sweetheart
What can I say?
Sweetheart
We have slept for our last time
You let me know everything that night
Sweetheart
It's a fool's day
Sweetheart
It's a fool's day
Sweetheart
It's a fool's day
